University theft

No, my University has not been stolen, but a rack of servers essential to my University have been stolen! Some time yesterday evening 11 rack-mount servers running the web site and various internal services were nicked off the premises, toether with the Blackboard "Learning Management System" server that was a brand-new upgrade! �100k? That's the rumour...

15th April: Bloody hell! I know I moan about our IT support on a regular basis but this time I'm impressed -- just 40 hours after the theft we've email and most internal services running again!!! (Another 6 hours to regain external access to the Uni network...)

16th April: Blackboard reappears! Kudos to our support people...
